<p>The Department of Health has asked the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advisory_Committee_on_the_Safety_of_Blood,_Tissues_and_Organs"
target="_blank">Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs</a>
to review the donor selection criteria for blood donation including those that relate
to men who have sex with men.</p><p> </p><p>The review is holding its third meeting
this year in November and is on schedule to report in mid-2017.</p>

<p>Last year, over 3000 jobs came to Wales through Foreign Direct Investment, through
57 projects of which 93% were supported by both my department and the Department for
International Trade.</p><p>Between 2015 and 2018, the UK attracted more foreign direct
investment in capital investment than France and Germany combined.</p>

<p>I fully support the campaign to return His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales'
regalia to Wales, in this the 40<sup>th</sup> Anniversary Year of the Prince’s Trust.
There has been a lot of interest in this for a number of years and I welcome the agreement
of HM the Queen for the symbolic regalia to be displayed in Llandovery.</p>

<p>As a Midlands MP myself, I'm delighted that the Chancellor visitied the Midlands
on June 1st to announce: his support for an extension of the Birmingham Enterprise
Zone; to encourage the cities of the Midlands to come forward with their proposals
for an elected Mayor; and to call our region, the Midlands, Britain's engine for growth.</p>

<p>The Office for National Statistics report the total trade balance with the EU to
have been -£28.5bn in 2010, -£21.7bn in 2011, -£39.5bn in 2012, -£57.3bn in 2013 and
-£61.6bn in 2014.</p><p> </p><p>The trade in goods balance with the EU was -£-43.4bn
in 2010, -£40.4bn in 2011, -£56.5bn in 2012, -£69.1bn in 2013 and -£78.6bn in 2014.</p><p>
</p><p>The trade in services balance with the EU was £15.0bn in 2010, £18.7bn in 2011,
£17.0bn in 2012, £11.8bn in 2013 and £15.4bn in 2014.</p><p> </p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will provide Access for All funding
for the construction of a ramp from the car park on the London side of Lichfield Trent
Valley railway station to enable disabled access from the car park to the station
and its platforms; and if he will make a statement.

<p>Access for All provides an accessible route from at least one station entrance
(usually the main one) and all drop off points associated with that entrance, to each
platform and between platforms served by passenger trains.</p><p> </p><p>At Lichfield
Trent Valley, this means the project will deliver new lifts at platform level to link
platforms 1 and 2 to platform 3 and provide an accessible route to and between all
platforms, including from the station car park associated with that entrance.</p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 20 November
to Question 190750, if he will (a) respond to the question of disabled access from
the London side car park at Lichfield Trent Valley railway station and (b) provide
Access for All funding for the construction of a ramp enabling disabled access from
that car park to the station and its platforms; and if he will make a statement.

<p>Access for All is already due to provide an accessible route into the station and
to and between all platforms, including access to one of the car parks. As only around
a fifth of UK stations have proper step free access we intend to target the new tranche
of funding at stations that disabled passengers are unable to use, ensuring that Access
for All will benefit the maximum number of people across the country. Additional scope
at existing projects, such as an extra ramp, would therefore need to have third party
funding.</p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect
of the change to train services at Lichfield Trent Valley (LTV) rail station after
the award of the West Coast Main Line rail franchise to First Trenitalia on (a) timetabling,
(b) passenger comfort and (c) capacity; and if he will make a statement.

<p>The West Coast Partnership operator will introduce brand new trains to replace
the Voyager fleet and the Pendolino fleet will be fully refurbished, improving reliability,
WIFI connectivity, luggage space and information systems. The introduction of new
trains will also increase the number of seats available for passengers across the
route, including from Lichfield Trent Valley. At least the same number of West Coast
services will call at Lichfield Train Valley as today.</p><p> </p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will amend the terms of reference
for the Oakervee Inquiry into the future of HS2 to include (a) alterations to the
existing route of Phase 1a, (b) cancellation of the existing route of Phase 1a and
a proposal new route to link London and Birmingham and (c) cancellation of HS2 in
its entirety; and if he will make a statement.

<p>The terms of reference for the independent review into HS2 were published on 21
August 2019. These are wide and allow the review panel to consider the areas raised
in your question without amendment.</p><p> </p>

<p>In designing HS2, HS2 Ltd is aiming to be exemplary in addressing security issues
and, as designs develop, it will be in discussions with Departmental transport security
officials to ensure that it complies with their requirements. At this stage of the
project’s design, within the overall costs, there is not a separate funding line specifically
for security.</p>
